Donald trump mexico wall

DONALD Trump has tonight demanded funding for a border wall with Mexico to defeat what he called a "humanitarian and security crisis." The President made a prime-time televised address ahead of a visit the border later this week - as the government marked its 18th day of a partial shutdown. Speaking to the nation from the Oval Office, President Trump said that all Americans are hurt by uncontrolled illegal immigration. Amoung those hit hardest by illegal immigration are African-Americans and Hispanics, he claimed - although he did not provide evidence. And Trump blasted Democrat rivals in Congress - blaming them for shutting down the government for the second longest period in history over the border security row. But he stopped short of declaring a national emergency - which would have allowed him to order the wall to be built without needing to pass legislation.

DONALD Trump's plans to build a controversial border wall have been dealt a hammerblow after his rivals refused to fund it. After taking control of the House of Representatives, the Democrats promptly voted to end his US government shutdown - without money for the wall. Trump closed the government down on December 22 after the Democrats refused to approve funding for his promised wall. He has steadfastly refused to compromise on his demands for the funding to build the massive barrier between the US and Mexico.

He explained that he needed about 700 miles of wall on the Southern border, as some of the 2000 miles of border already had natural barriers. He also criticized Congressional Democrats for blocking additional wall funding. … [Read more...] about Donald Trump: Mexico Will Pay for the Wall and ‘They’re Going to Enjoy It’
